Green Building Design

With our client in mind, Pacemaker has always taken a practical approach to Green Building Solutions.

Definition of Green Design

Green Design involves design and construction practices that significantly reduce or eliminate the negative impact of buildings on the environment and occupants. Often called “Sustainable Design,” these practices cover five broad areas:

Sustainable site planning

Safeguarding water and water efficiency

Energy efficiency and renewable energy

Conservation of materials and resources

Indoor environmental quality

The goal of green design is high-performance buildings that improve our local and global communities.

Advantages of Green Design

Choosing to use green design products and services has numerous advantages for the individual, their community and the global environment. Residential and commercial building owners can save money on energy bills by using green design products. For example, studies have reported up to a 20% drop in energy costs by converting from an asphalt shingle roof to a pre-painted metal roof.

By choosing Pacemaker, you can be assured that high quality reflective roof and wall materials are being used. These “Cool Metal Roofing” formulations add energy savings and have earned Energy Star Ratings. For more information: www.paintandcolor.com
